Junior Class First Semester Second Semester Curtis Birge................President................Glen Taylor Marylu Podas ............. Vice-President John Burtis Dolores Telford ............ Secretary Evan Morgan Joe Wiegel.................. Treasurer Joe Wiegel Dixie Lee Miller ...... Board of Control ........ Caroline Benner Kenneth Yost Kenneth Yost September morn 1931 revealed to a waiting world a group of freshmen destined to change its history. Eighty strong, the neophytes surged through the halls to be corralled finally in rooms 3 and 4 where they were housed for a year under the tender ministrations of Inga Stevens and Paul Me- Gibbon. Honors for the year were won in various fields: Five were accepted for Torch; many took part in the vodvil; Richard Murphy won first place in the Snohomish county scholarship contest in general science and Martha Louise Bliss tied for first place in Latin. Dolores Telford won first place in Snohomish county declamatory contest in the dramatic division. When their intelligence had increased, the powers called the thirty-fivers upstairs where in rooms 7 and 9 they were gently molded into shape by Mrs. Hallie Anderson and Warren Bieber. More coveted honors were won so that in this year Torch called nine to membership. Many again starred in vodvil; others placed in football, basketball, tennis and track. During the summer of 1933 the class lost one of its best-loved members. Bill Cleary. Their years now sit lightly on the juniors. The majority of the class give promise of becoming the cream of the crop next year. Modesty alone forbids their admitting the fact now, according to their advisors, Mrs. Bliss and Mr. Parsons. They now boast ten Torch members; four on the first squad in football; one on the first squad in basketball; five on the leads of the operetta, and four on the stage crew; five are members of the Letter- men’s Club; seven are in the Letterwomen’s Club. Dick Young has been vice-president of the Student Association and of the Boys' Club, and Marylu Podas has been vice-president of the Girls’ Club this year. tiventy'two
